Firing my Dr.! Anyone know a good one in Seattle

So my doctor just refused to up my meds to 37.5 mcg from 25 mcg.  Would not listen to me that I am feeling better.  I upped it myself about 5 days ago.  Anyone have a doctor that might actually work with me?  Thanks!


Last 2 tests (one year ago)  - no meds

TSH 0.5 (same values)
Free t4 0.77 (0.57-1.25) posted wrong value on last post  - 29%

One month ago

TSH 1.2 (same values)  - no meds
Free t4 0.8 (0.6- 1.2) - 33%

5 weeks ago - begin taking 0.25mcg generic synthroid

Labs 06/20/12

TSH - 0.7 (I am usually hanging around there with no meds)
Free T4 - 0.83 (0.57-1.25) 38%
TOTAL T3 - 109.60 (87-178) 25%
Ferritin - 30 (on supplements and barely moved but I am working on it)

How are you doing on the upped dosage?

I am amazed you feel a difference already. For me when increased it takes about 4 weeks before I notice a difference.

I went from 175mcg to 200 mcg & so far NOTHING... it has only been 2 days..
